Class 4A State Basketball Preview

The boys side is very intriguing with Pratt leading the way as the top seed. The Greenbacks are ranked fifth in 4A, but are 21-2 on the season and being led by new head coach David Swank and his sons Micah and Matt.

How good is that trio?

They show up in Pratt and turn a team that did not make the state tournament and finished 10-11 last season into the number one seed in the state tournament.

Pratt is helped by the fact that defending champion and top-ranked Basehor-Linwood was bounced in Sub-State.

The Concordia girls are ranked second in the state behind Cheney, but is still undefeated with a 23-0 record. As good as I have heard Cheney is, I don't think there is any way to bet against the defending state champion Panthers. Concordia was won 49 games in a row and looks to be unstoppable.

Cheney will also likely have to get through 23-0 Holton to even have a shot at Concordia. Cheney also can't overlook Circle in the first round.

Can anyone stop the Swanks? Can Concordia make it 52 wins in a row, or will somebody knock the Panthers off? Leave a comment and let us know what you think.
